Underfloor Wire & Cable Management

Tate’s has partnered with Cii, the leading manufacturer of

modular power and voice data systems to provide flexible

solution for commercial interiors. Cii offers superior quality and

fast, flexible service with custom application capabilities.

Cii’s StationLink® and PVD Servicenter® are the modular answer

to providing multiple power and data circuits to desktops and

workstations in the office. This plug-and-play system allows you

to add new equipment or make moves, adds and changes very

simply and quickly. The patented connectors are UL listed and

approved to connect and disconnect while energized, meaning

the circuit breaker does not need to be locked and tagged-out

to make changes. As easy as unplugging a lamp, the user can

disconnect and move an entire workstation with a minimal

amount of disruption to the rest of the office.

Key features Modular Power & Data Management

• Flexibility- with plug-and-play units, installing and reconfiguring

the office layout is fast, easy and cost-effective.

• Capacity – multiple outlet units allow high capacity multi-circuit

wiring configurations to be added for future staffing needs.

• Customization – the StationLink® and PVD Servicenter® can be

custom engineered to accommodate any office furniture and

provide any power, voice or data service required.

• Life Cycle Costs – the mobility of these devices allow you to

add, move or relocate as often as you need, without having to

reinvest in a new power system.

• Safety – all StationLink and PVD Servicenters are UL and CSA

approved. The power connectors have a “first make – last

break” grounding and are keyed to ensure proper connection.

Underfloor Air DistributionTate Advancements in Perimeter Heating and Cooling

Underfloor Air Distribution (UFAD) has become a popular strategy

for heating and cooling an office building due to the significant

HVAC energy savings it offers while addressing a variety of other

indoor environmental needs. These needs include maintaining

high-quality clean air, improving personal comfort control,

attenuating noise, responding to organizational and technology

changes quickly and easily, and supporting the overall aesthetic

value of the facility – all while being cost-effective in both during

construction and operation.

Tate is committed to improving UFAD design. One of the most

critical aspects of any Commercial HVAC system is the ability to

deal with the perimeter load before it affects the occupants

inside the building. Tate’s EcoCore and In-Floor Active Chilled

Beam are two of the latest technological advancements by Tate

design to improve UFAD perimeter design.

Advantages of UFAD

• Enhanced indoor environmental quality through superior IAQ,

improved acoustics, and increased daylighting opportunities.

• Maximize flexibility at design inception and throughout the life

of the building. With UFAD you can relocate, add or remove

diffusers to rezone the space based on current load profiles.

• Save 20% or more on your HVAC energy costs through

economizer operation, and less fan energy requirements.

• Easily adapts to technological and organizational changes over

the building’s lifecycle at low cost.

• Improve personal comfort control with individual volume and air

direction control.

• Reduced first cost and construction time due to significant

reduction in HVAC ductwork.

• Reduced operating costs and lower facility and maintenance

costs through accessible, flexible, and adaptable services.

In-Floor Active Chilled Beam

With a wide product range the In-floor Active Chilled Beam offers

many benefits over other perimeter solutions commonly used in

raised floor office environments. Improved energy efficiency, the

reduction of equipment and ductwork under the floor, and the

ability to create a seamlessly integrated look along the perimeter

are just a few of the advantages.

Features & Benefits

• Handle perimeter heating and cooling loads

• Chilled water is delivered safely below the floor

• Gain the full energy efficiency advantage of water heating andcooling by conditioning at the source of the load

• Ability to use water below dew point and control condensation

• Easily manage shoulder season conditioning

• Gain advantages of stratified airflow vs. overhead chilled beams

Performance Chart

2-Pipe

The 2-Pipe model is designed to have

either hot or cold water pass through the

unit based on building demands. Supply

and return water connections are located

on opposite ends of the chilled beam.

Thermostatically controlled the unit time

modulates the air valves and water

valves to meet the perimeter demands.

4-Pipe

The 4-Pipe model has the ability to

supply hot and chilled water to the unit

without switch over. Two supply and two

return water connections are located on

opposite ends of the beam. Time

modulated air and water valves allow the

unit to meet demand based on a

thermostat located in the space.

2-Pipe with Electric Heat

Much like the 4-Pipe model, this unit is

capable of both heating and cooling

without changing the water supply. Both

supply and return water connections and

an electrical connection is located on the

device. The perimeter demands are met

by time modulating the air valves, water

valves, and electric heat.

EcoCore access floor panels are steel welded shells filled with an

unique mixture of structural cement and PCM that allows the

panel to absorb thermal energy while maintaining the high level of

integrity and quality expected from Tate’s raised access floors.

This is possible due to utilizing a patent pending method of

mixing microscopic spheres of encapsulated PCM into the

cement. The spheres maintain their size, shape and integrity

throughout phase transitions. This allows the panels to

seamlessly integrate into a raised floor installation providing a low

impact thermal mass to absorb energy during the day that would

otherwise affect both the energy efficiency and comfort level of

the office. The stored energy is then released again overnight as

the temperature drops below the 75º F melting point.

Benefits of Phase Change in a Raised Floor

• Reduce perimeter heating and cooling loads during normalbusiness hours

• Use free or low cost cooling to handle the thermal load storedin the panels during non-business hours

• PCM lasts the life of the building (over 100,000 changes)

• Tate’s raised floor panels provide a safe solution for applyingphase change material in a building. By embedding the materialin cement and then fully encapsulating it in a steel welded shell,the material is protected from the external environment

• Gain advantages of a raised floor system

EcoCorePhase Change Technology for Energy Efficiency

EcoCore Perimeter Solution

Using EcoCore in the perimeter zone of the office will help to reduce the overall peak load in the space and delay the occurrence of the peak

load to later in the day. By reducing the overall peak load the amount of cooling required to keep the space comfortable is reduced. In

addition, by delaying the peak to later in the day the load can often be handled with free economizer cooling or with reduced rate electricity.

Solar load warms the panels during the day.As the panels warm the phase changematerial melts absorbing energy.

As the panels cool overnight the phasechange material solidifies.

The energy is stored in the panels to bereleased during non-peak hours.

• All components are quick connect for easy installation andremoval during casino layout configuration changes.

• Air»Connect’s ‘plug and play’ placement flexibility ensuremaximum comfort is maintained.

• Delivers air near floor level to maximize acoustic performance,energy efficiency, and help eliminate smoke in the occupied zone.

Casino Air»ConnectCreating A Healthy Gaming Environment

Tate’s Air»Connect provides significant advantages in maintaining

air quality, flexibility and the aesthetic integrity of a Casino’s

gaming environment. Air»Connect uses a variable-air-volume

damper or flexible duct to tap into the pressurized plenum of an

underfloor air distribution system. The air is then delivered at or

near the floor through diffusers mounted in slot bases and other

structures built on top of the raised floor. Air»Connect offers the

same flexibility and improved indoor air quality of a typical floor

mounted diffuser only the diffusers can be concealed out of sight

for a more appealing aesthetic.
